Built for Competition
Deterministic Races
Every race is turn-based with auditable, verifiable outcomes. Fair, transparent competition fully on-chain.
Open Lobbies
Create a race, let players join or leave, then start when ready. Full lobby lifecycle managed entirely on-chain.
Cinematic Board View
Race in a 3D isometric board game view with a 19-camera broadcast system. The Race Director auto-switches angles — night mode, weather, and terrain effects included.
Tracks & Terrain
Dozens of tracks with active terrain effects: sand slows racers, ice doubles handling penalties, and speed pads give free boosts. Every track plays differently.
Deep Strategy
Cards for speed, lane, items, shield, and block-drafters every turn. Draft behind rivals for free speed, or pay -1 to stop them drafting you.
AI Bots & Automation
Seven built-in bot strategies from aggressive to turtle. Supports AutoLoop, Chainlink automation, and fully custom bot strategies via the open API.
Tournament Mode
Best-of-3 bracket racing. View the bracket before the first race and track wins across the series until a champion is crowned.
Replay & Spectate
Watch any past race turn-by-turn. Spectate live races by room code. Share a race summary — winner, margin, and a direct link — in one tap.
Play with Credits
Buy race credits with a credit card and race on-chain without ever touching crypto. Gasless, walletless, instant — the blockchain is invisible.
Diamond Architecture
Upgradeable smart contracts using the Diamond (EIP-2535) proxy pattern for long-term extensibility and composability.
What People Are Saying
Lucky Races brings real strategy to on-chain gaming. The deterministic mechanics mean every decision matters — no RNG, just skill.
The Diamond architecture makes this one of the most future-proof blockchain games we’ve worked on. Upgradeable and composable from day one.
Racing with items and lane strategy keeps every match fresh. The replay system is incredibly satisfying — you can study every move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lucky Races is a fully on-chain multiplayer racing game built on Ethereum. Every race, turn, and outcome is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparent, verifiable competition.
No wallet required. You can buy race credits with a regular credit card and play immediately. If you want to use your own racer NFTs or interact directly with the blockchain, you can connect a wallet like MetaMask — but it's completely optional.
Race credits are virtual currency you buy with a regular credit card via Stripe. No crypto, no gas fees, no wallet setup. Credits are stored in your account and used to enter races. The game submits your turns on-chain on your behalf — you just play.
Races are turn-based. Each round, you submit your choices — speed mode, lane, items, and shields. The smart contracts process all turns deterministically, so outcomes are fair and auditable.
During a race, you can pick up items like Speed Boosts, Missiles, Bananas, Mushrooms, and Invincibility Shields. Each item has a unique effect — boost your speed, slow down opponents, or protect yourself from attacks.
Not if you use race credits. The credits path is completely gasless — the game handles all blockchain transactions for you. If you connect your own wallet and race directly on-chain, normal Ethereum gas fees apply.
Every race uses deterministic smart contracts. Given the same inputs, the same outputs will always be produced. There's no randomness controlled by any single party — all game logic lives on-chain.
Original Racers are unique NFTs assembled from 70+ handcrafted 3D parts. Each racer has distinct stats (speed, acceleration, handling) that affect gameplay. They're yours forever on Ethereum.
Yes! Lucky Races supports bot AI strategies and automation. The game is designed to be composable — you can build your own strategies, automate race participation, or integrate with other on-chain systems.
The Board Game Edition is the full-featured 3D race client. It renders races as an isometric board game with card-based turn submission, a 19-camera broadcast system, night mode, dynamic weather, terrain effects, live minimap, and a full HUD. You can also spectate live races or replay any past race turn-by-turn.
Tournament mode is a best-of-3 bracket format. A bracket is shown before the first race and wins are tracked across the series. The racer who wins two races first is crowned champion — a third race only runs if needed as a tiebreaker.
Yes. Spectate mode lets you follow any live race by entering its room code. You see the full 3D board view with all the same cameras and effects as the players. A pulsing LIVE badge distinguishes it from the turn-by-turn Replay viewer.
Tracks have active terrain types that change the rules each turn. Sand and Slime are sticky — they reduce your movement cap. Slick Ice doubles handling penalties when you change lanes. Speed Boost pads give you a free +1 space when you roll over them.
